Whatever the hell all that means.

It is through the death of Grandpa when the Wilsons join the family and the death of Grandma before Ma provides food to the Hooverville children that the author shows how a biologicla family member must die as the family expands.

"The author explains that a biological family member must die in order for the family to expand and flourish. Some examples would be Grandpa dies before the Wilson's join the family and Grandma dies before Ma provides food to the Hooverville children." I don't see how Ma providing food to the Hooverville children would be expanding the family...that's why I used the word flourish. I would just cut that whole word and example out and find a better point.

I would make it a few different sentences.
The author also explains that as the family expands a biological family member must die. For example, when the Wilsons join the family, Grandpa dies. Before Ma provides food to the Hooverville children, Grandma dies.
Either that or
The author also explains that as the family expands a biological family member must die; for example when the Wilsons join the family, Grandpa dies. Before Ma provides food to the Hooverville children, Grandma dies.
Right now you have a runon sentence so you need to break it up one way or another.

Just punctuation, as far as I can see. The sentence was too long and was ambiguous.
